Equation 1:  y = - 8x - 2    

Equation 2: y = - 6x + 4

Equation both equations, we get:

- 8x - 2= - 6x + 4

-8x + 6x = 4 + 2

-2x = 6

x = -3

Using the value of x in first equation, we get:

y= -8(-3) - 2 = 24 - 2 = 22

So, the solution to the given equations is (-3, 22)

So, the answer is option A
